Oh, come on - I know we're heading towards winter time, and people all 
over the northern hemisphere are going into hibernation mode (aka 
depression), but please... we just managed to convince Orchid aka 
Invisible that /he/'s not "completely dysfunctional", so don't /you/ 
start now... >_<

Just look at me, for instance. I guess you'd file me under "whizkid", 
with all those code contributions to POV-Ray 3.7, having made radiosity 
easier to use and all that jazz. Guess what - that's just one facet of 
my life you see. The rest of it is probably neither more nor less 
brilliant than anybody else's (including yours). Struggling with 
depressions myself, BTW - been there, done that. (Well, not publicly 
declaring how dysfunctional I am, but anyway...) So I guess I can say 
with some authority of experience: "If you think you suck, I think 
you're sick." (pun intended)

'Nuff said for now. If you're interested in some further advice along 
these lines, feel free to contact me via electionic mail to Christoph at 
Lipka-Koeln in Germany (de).
